Lyrics:

When bequeathed the gift of faith
The child will spend it all in one place
And never meet the strangers gaze
So roll the dice
We'll find someone to test out your convictions

One stands firm without the herd
To render to the world what it deserves

With all his thoughts as afters
The Jester broke his back to reach the branches
Of the fruit hung low, bent by circumstances
And the flaw he might have spoken went unseen

The cordon wasn't broken
And jackboots pierced the silence of the dream

And so in time you'll find your platitudes remain
Just like mother used to make
And when you find your words
Then you'll start to see the world

The child tells the truth and the monsters point their fingers back at you
And as the dreams of men come true, life is lent to nightmares too
The child meets the man and sits in judgement of the deeds to come with age
And burdened with the weight of all the things he didn't say, he drops his gaze
